This is the example of a good workflow: Campaign -> Direct Mail -> Phone Call (analytic tracking number) -> Lead -> Property -> Comps -> Deal Analyzer -> Contract -> Appointment, etc...

I don't know what analytics you are pulling from to create your opinions or if you are just reciting what you've read or heard elsewhere.A couple comments about your points.1.

Climbed the proverbial corporate ladder for about 7 years, went back to school to get my MBA (this is where you really learn how to think analytically and strategically - I actually very much enjoyed grad school), and still climbing the "ladder" (feels like a Jacob's ladder). 

I have listened to Morris too for a long time and my analytical mind and careful slowness saved my behind here not having jumped on the ship with him before I got my first warning as a comment by a viewer on a show with Morris on Mark Ferguson podcast.

On paper, the loan was deeply underwater (like 300% underwater) so the Harvard-grad MBA with deep analytical tools just discarded it as worthless.

Being a CPA, I am very analytical and love getting deep into the numbers.  

I've been active in the real estate industry for over 25 years and have experience as a realtor and mortgage broker.Because I tend to be analytical and organized, it was only natural for me to start building my own rehab repair cost and deal analysis tools when I started purchasing multiple fixer upper properties in the early 90s.

My question is, what suggestions does the community have for structuring such a partnership, where one party brings the funding/analytics and the other is the boots on the ground with little funding in place?

So as in the example provided, spending $10,000 today to save $20,000 in interest later is missing two further analytical steps. 

My partner is a Physics professor and his analytic thinking compliments my right brain creative side.
